Donald Ernest Cameron McKechnie (23 March 1944 – 10 August 2021) was a New Zealand cricketer and umpire. He was born at Dunedin in Otago in 1944 and educated at King's High School in the city.[1]
A left-arm spin bowler, McKechnie played 17 first-class matches for Otago between 1975 and 1981.[2] His most successful match was against Auckland in 1975–76, when he took 3 for 71 and 6 for 65 and Otago won by 10 runs.[3] He won the player of the match award in the low-scoring match against Wellington in 1976–77 when he took six wickets and three catches and top-scored in Otago's first innings with 27 batting at number nine.[4]
Later, McKechnie became an umpire, officiating in eight first-class matches between 1986 and 1990.[5] He died in Balclutha on 10 August 2021.[6]
